Is that a big bargaining chip or something? The presence of the Ukrainian Olympic team?
I mean, having Ukraine boycott the Olympics isn't a great look for the Olympics.
The IOC is not a great look for the Olympics. The organisation is cancerous, just like FIFA
didnt a bunch of people boycott it when china was hosting it?
Yeah because the Olympic committee are a bunch of idiots. They keep saying that the Olympics are not political, while being obviously political.
Allowing China to host was a political decision. It showed support for China, no matter how much the Olympic committee said it didn't.
Morons the lot of them.
